Ten Style Pet Peeves

     So this blog post is going to be quite different from my usual posts. Today I want to talk about ten of my style pet peeves. These are ten things that people (particularly men, for obvious reasons) do when they dress that annoy me to some degree. This list is not in order, since that would be hard for me to do. I hope you find some entertainment from this list, and maybe even learn from it.

  1. The undershirt showing. Why? An undershirt is meant to be concealed under your shirt. It's like underwear, nobody should ever see it. I notice this problem the most when guys wear a crew neck undershirt under a dress shirt with no tie and have a button open on the top. The way to fix this is by simply switching to a v-neck or a-shirt as an undershirt. 
  2. Poorly tied tie. Why? It bugs me when a guy ties his tie with seemingly no effort. If you are wearing a tie, it means you are probably at some occasion where you are expected to look good. Having a crooked or loose tie makes you look sloppy and lazy. A tie should look like you put some effort into it.
  3. Poorly fitting clothes (usually too large). Why? Having clothes that don't fit is a huge problem especially in the United States. When you wear clothes that don't fit, it makes you look larger than you actually are. The clothes sag off of your body and look really ugly. The best way to fix this problem is to buy smaller sizes, or to try different brands. This is definitely one of the hardest pet peeves of mine to fix, but it's pretty important too.
  4. Mixing casual and dress clothes. Why? Mixing casual and dress clothes is really hard to do well. Usually when I see people do this, they don't do it well. The most common example of this is when a guy wears a suit with tennis shoes. Why would you do that? Just wear dress shoes.
  5. Wearing short shorts. Why? Self-explanatory.
  6. Wearing pink/salmon shorts. Why? Honestly, there's nothing really "wrong" with wearing these shorts, I just personally don't like how they look. I also think the fact that everyone is wearing them now plays a part in why I don't like them.
  7. Wearing sunglasses/hats inside. Why? These are meant to worn outside, not inside. Just take them off when you go inside.
  8. Buttoning too many/too little buttons on a dress shirt. Why? It bothers me when someone wears a dress shirt and buttons it all the way to the top without wearing a tie. I feel like it looks weird and uncomfortable. Just unbutton one or two buttons and you look much better. However, you should never unbutton more than two buttons, or you look kind of creepy.
  9. Buttoning the bottom button of a suit jacket. Why? The bottom button of a suit is actually designed to not be buttoned. It looks awkward when someone buttons the bottom button. 
  10. Wearing a long sleeve shirt with shorts. Why? Like number 6, there is really nothing wrong about doing this, but it looks awkward to me. I'm okay with someone wearing a short sleeve shirt with long pants, but wearing a long sleeve shirt with short pants looks a bit strange. This is just my personal preference.
     There you have it, ten of my style pet peeves. I want to know what you guys think of my list. Do you agree with all of these? Do you disagree with any of them? Do you not care? Let me know in the comments, I am genuinely interested.
